Sure, but you don't get the same kind of customer service when order from Japan. Gordon over at BiG has been a huge help the few times I have purchased from them, and seeing as how important sizing is when spending this kind of money on a piece of clothing, I'd rather drop the extra ~$60 knowing that I can easily exchange for a different size if need be.

It doesn't hurt supporting the very few domestic businesses that are knowledgeable enough to carry these types of products.

^word.
If I didn't buy from BIG my last time, I would have messed up horribly on sizing. I was able to get my size and a lifetime of hemming service from them so I would rather pay the premium for the quality service and guarantees.

I moved to Japan for work last year...I was walking around the streets of Kyoto and stumbled upon their shop. Really awesome staff, and a really cool little place. I was set on buying some Momotaro's before I left Japan, but after checking out Samurai in person, I'm definitely grabbing a pair at the end of the month.

Hey guys I bought a pair of sam's at the begining of Janurary from blue in green but they turned out being too small in the thigh after I soaked em. Ive got them on Ebay now. If you are looking for a pair check em out. they retail for 350$ but Ive got the bidding started at 150. Ive only worn them off and on for two weeks before I realized they werent going to fit.
